At PREP, we’ve the privilege of working with some of the most amazing, stylish, passionate and inspiring people around and we want to give you a glimpse of some of the things these style-makers and scene-stealers are currently loving and obsessing over. To kick off the “PREP Picks” series, it’s our own Jacelyn Soh, one-third of PREP and all-round sweetheart and animal lover.

The number-cruncher in the trio of PREP lady bosses, Jacelyn is always the picture of cool, collected chic with her classic and modern style. A self-confessed homebody she loves nothing more than a night in with a home-cooked meal surrounded by two of the greatest loves of her life – husband Andrew and furbaby Max. While this might sound seemingly contradictory, she also loves the exposure to the new and unique tastes and sights that travel brings, and names Italy with its fabulous dining scene and luscious scenery, as one of her all-time favourite travel destinations.

Here are her current loves and obsessions:

1. Clé de Peau Beauté Concealor:“My everyday cheat-stick to natural, flawless skin. I never leave home without this!”

3. Le Creuset Dutch Oven in Caribbean:“I’ve been learning to cook recently and this is perfect for making broths and stews in. Great for any rookie, wannabe home-cooks because it cooks everything so evenly and beautifully.”

4. Cranberry Almond Granola from The Edible Company: “I have to have this for breakfast every morning – handmade granola, made with the best natural ingredients. So delish with organic yoghurt!”

5. Redken Wind Blown Finishing Spray ($32 at PREP):“I love using this for my hair after a blowout. It gives my hair such great texture, with a lovely, soft matte finish.”

What happens when you have a roomful of beautiful women getting their hair and nails done together and throw in champagne, sweet treats and lingerie into the mix? A really, really fabulous way to celebrate a bride-to-be’s last day of single-hood that’s what. Isabel hosted her girlfriends for an evening of girly fun at PREP with hairdos chosen from a customized menu and express manis and pedis. And of course, what’s a bachelorette party without gorgeous lingerie making an appearance? Perk By Kate came by to top off all the fun with a personal trunk show just for the party.

Congratulations Isabel! Thanks for letting PREP be a part of your celebrations! We wish you love, laughter and great hair on your new journey as a Mrs!

Yue Yeng Fong

What do you work as?
Creator of Happiness and Chief Joyrider at Joyride Creamery, a non-dairy ice cream specialist launching soon in Singapore.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Dreaming up new ice cream flavours and creating original recipes using only healthy, natural ingredients.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
Fitness and health are important to me and these are represented in Joyride Creamery’s mission statement of creating better ice cream. Beside cycling to churn ice cream, I also teach part time at 7cycle, Singapore’s first boutique indoor cycling studio that takes indoor cycling to exciting new heights!

To unwind, I run or practise yoga and occasionally experiment with new recipes according to the boyfriend’s macro diet requests.

What makes you excited about these interests?
Being able to spread happiness and inspire people through better living in every way. From ice cream to indoor cycling to experimental recipes, it excites me to build fun into a healthy lifestyle.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
PREP is great for special date nights and occasions that require a sprinkle of red carpet dazzle dazzle. It’s my superhero changing room to turn from ice cream girl to glamour queen!

CHRISTINA TAN

What do you work as?
I’ve just joined LaPrendo, a luxury retailer and tastemaker with a curated offering of fashion and desirable objects from established European labels as well as up-and-coming designers. As a Fashion Management Trainee, I’m currently getting to know our store and our clientele better at the Dempsey Road boutique, before continuing on my rotation at our Fullerton Hotel boutique and the office. I also contribute to a few other functions, such as website content development and inventory management.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
I enjoy working with this dynamic team of über-talented and motivated individuals. I also derive great satisfaction when I successfully coax our style-savvy customers to try something new or different, that is just a little outside their comfort zone. We are confident about the products we carry, and it’s great when we can convince our clients that they are a joy to own and wear.

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I have several, but the common thread through most of my interests is that they involve creating or creativity. I did a couple of amazing summer stints at Saint Pierre the restaurant, and Sebastien’s Bistro many years ago, baking bread, and assisting with pastry and desserts, and the baking bug has not left me since. I enjoy travelling, going to exhibitions, cocktails/dining, learning about a craft.. a year ago I went to Yogyakarta in Indonesia to study batik-making under the artists Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam; it was a short but humbling and enriching experience. I also like bring people together at dinner parties and would love to host more in future.

What makes you excited about these interests?
In one word, inspiration. I want to be aware of the world around me, and to continue training my eye for beauty. I believe every unique experience allows you to apply a new perspective to problem solving, in a very general sense, and makes you a more interesting person! So I try to keep an open mind and have a sense of curiosity.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
A special date night, dinner party, birthday celebration, wedding, or hen night!

Ruoxi Tham

What do you work as?
I work as a do-whatever-needs-to-be-done in a start up that encourages energy efficiency.

What are some of the best parts of your work that you look forward to?
Some of the best parts of my work… are my colleagues (cliche but so true!) and ironically, learning to deal with problems I never thought I’d be faced with!!!

What are some interests you have outside of work?
I like crafting! And testing out all these DIY projects I see so much of when I’m on the internet.

What makes you excited about these interests?
I’ve always like the idea of being able to make things that I like, and most of all I really enjoy the process and product (even if most of the time it needs more practice). For example, I spent a weekend with 2 friends making little pins and tokens for another friend’s hen party. It was time consuming but very fun to see the fruits of our labor, and felt great that all our friends appreciated our time and effort.

You’d most likely be found getting a blowout at PREP when you need to PREP for…
Dinners, dates, parties, the list goes on..!!! PREP always makes me feel glamorous and pampered.
